August 11, 2022

 

Ra’anana, Israel– Inspira Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (Nasdaq: IINN, IINNW) (the “Company” or “Inspira Technologies”), a groundbreaking respiratory support technology company, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

 

Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of Inspira Technologies, stated: The Company continues to meet its scheduled major objectives and improve its position within the target market of direct blood oxygenation. Our focus on contributing to medical advancement within this space is exemplified by the introduction of our new HYLATM, a non-invasive blood sensor being designed to perform real-time and continuous blood measurements. The HYLATM is being designed to assist physicians in the monitoring of a patient’s clinical condition, alerting of a sudden change in the patient’s vital signs, which may require immediate medical attention and potentially save lives.

 

Planned as a technically advanced component for the InspiraTM ART system, the HYLATM will also have its own distinct target market and business model.

 

Recently, Inspira also revealed the first public pictures of the ALICE™ Device, designed as a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or heart-lung bypass device. We continue to strategically enhance our presence within the market as we prepare to enter the verification and validation (V&V) process with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of our technologies.”

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

 

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $4.3 million, compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase is a result of the Company’s recruitment of specialized manpower and the expanded development of its new technologies and operations.

 

Marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $777,000, compared to $244,000 for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase is attributed to rises in marketing, payroll, and share-based compensation expenses. Marketing activities commenced in the first quarter of 2021 and became more intensive with the Company’s need to create brand awareness and explore go-to-market capabilities.

 

General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $2.9 million, compared to $1.2 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase stemmed primarily from an uptick in payroll and related expenses, as well as costs associated with the Company’s status as a publicly traded company following its initial public offering (IPO) on Nasdaq in July 2021, the increase in existing and new expenses included professional fees, director fees, and directors’ and officers’ insurance costs.

 

Finance income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $4.5

million, compared to expenses in the amount of $5.7 million for the corresponding period in 2021. The increase in finance income derived from the calculation of the fair value of the Company’s financial equity liabilities to pre-IPO and IPO investors in addition to the fluctuation in the USD exchange rate during the first half of 2022.

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $3.5 million, compared to a net loss of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2022

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were $2.7 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was attributed to share-based compensation expenses in addition to expected R&D expenditures on new technologies and new projects.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were $1.4 million, a non-material decrease of $0.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2022.

 

Sales and Marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were $0.3 million, a decrease of approximately $0.17 million compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Financial liabilities at fair value totaled $0.4 million as of June 30, 2022, compared to $3.2 million on December 31, 2021. The financial liabilities represent the fair value of the Company’s equity liabilities to pre-IPO and IPO investors.
